Subject: Stock market q's

I do, and the press hype was way, way over the top. Things were not as bad as it was made out and I think my investment will mature about summer next year. I am hoping to treble my cash.

Oh, and on the topic of Scottish & Newcastle, it jumped by 18% today!

You missed the boat I would say.

I could say I had chosen it before today, meaning it has already just gained a load, I'll do that...

sneaky me, hopefully they may rise a bit if they get taken over.

Oh well, that's my big gamble one then.

I've found Yunnan Tin, in china, probably going with that, although I think I'm going to have to keep a close eye on it, as it seems it may fluctuate(the demand) as the price seems to be going up.

Anyway thx all for your help, hopefully this gets me started, and at least allows me to get a better understanding as the year goes on, again thx.
